Review Quotes: 'Gilligan and Richards have done it again. In their new book they provide a rich and compelling analysis of how patriarchy is a sinister force underlying the political and ethical crisis of our times. A must-read for anyone concerned with the undermining of our democracy.' Drucilla Cornell, Rutgers University, New Jersey
